i have stock 17's on and i hit a pothole today...now the wheels are not aligned steerin wheel has to be tilted rite to go straight...now when i put the wheel straight and went to look at the wheels...my left wheel is straight but the other wheel is tilted to the left...the top of the wheel is in more and bottom stickin out too...when i turn right soethign on that side makes a noise but when i turn left no noise...is it just a camber issue where i need a new alignment or did somehting go bad in the suspension??? please help me!!!!

 

looks like you got a new 03. Take it back to the dealer and pretend like you don't know what's going on. You might get yourself free alignment.

 

well i have maxspeed springs on them and its yellow so im sure theyll blame it on them...besides they can suck my %$#@%!%@

 

bumpty bump bump

 

Get an alignment and pray u didnt bend a wheel

 

At a minumum you will need a good alignment. I'd start with a reputable tire shop.

 

I agree. Since you have aftermarket springs, most dealers won't touch it without $$. Were you going fast? Damn, must have been a big a** pothole.

 

Some jurisdictions will reimburse pothole-related damages if you file a complaint. I'd find out if this is a possibility in your case.

 

you may have bent a control arm aswell..

this has happened to me on my old 3rd gen max.. big pothole, slightly bent rim, one wheel sitting off center = bent control arm... needed to replace that and needed an alignment.

 

i dont care if i bent a rim...i just hope i didnt bend anything else on the suspension...im so sad

 

I've got a similar issue - while driving my car this winter I slid into a curb. I did have an alignment afterwards, and they said they'd straighten my steering wheel... It's still off to the right a bit to drive straight. When you find the solution, please let me know!

 

check the inner part of the wheel, the outer part might be fine but the inner might be bent-has happened to me b4

 

is that why u sold your 17" wheels?

 

my 17's were PERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-FECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not a single scratch, and with 3700miles on them....ask black2000maxima, he has em now

(except for the fact that he never aligned his car after the tein drop so i assume the tires aren't perfect anymore)

 

gona go get it alignd now

 

Happened to me on my previous 4th gen: hit some black ice going faster than i shouldve and hit a curb (luckily only that). Bent the rim, luckily it was stock and i replaced it pretty cheap. Thought that would be the end of it, but in a couple of months i heard a noise coming from the bearings in the front right on turns and had to replace it with a new axle. i dont know if it was related to the curb i hit but the mechanic said it was likely. so my point is you never know what a good hit to the wheels could screw up. Pray its just your alignment. good luck.
